IRISH LAW

Under the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act 1998, the possession, distribution, import or export or sale of child pornography is illegal and carries a maximum 14-year term. Using a child or allowing a child to be used for the production of child pornography is also punishable by up to 14 years' imprisonment. Irish sentences tend to be concurrent.
